Diamonds are forever...


..or in this case they are not. I came across these edible sugar diamonds today, available from Squires Kitchen. These eye catching jewels would look great on cupcakes at a Wedding, Engagement or, funnily enough, a Diamond Wedding Anniversary, adding plenty of sparkle!

How many attempts does it take to deliver a parcel?




Finally my business cards arrive! After being printed in record time, the courier company took nearly 2 weeks to deliver due to them being totally incompetant. When they did arrive they had a blue dot on them due to an error on the printing plate. There's a special name for it although I can't remember now. Anyway, after a reprint and the cards actually being checked this time before they sent them out, I have them. I've also had some nice stickers printed up for the cake boxes.

The Birthday Girl


This is my friend Kel. She is lovely! So I made her some just as lovely cupcakes for her Birthday. I think she liked them.

Wonderful Inspiration

Last night I finally got round to going to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D. And I absolutely loved it! Despite what the critics say, I feel that, visually, Tim Burton has brought the fantasy story to life once again, but true to his style. Although not particularly dark, unlike his previous films, it is humerous in part, vivid in colour and full of imagination and inspiration. I could be wrong, but i'm sure that there were no cupcakes on the Mad Hatter's table for tea. Had I have been his official cake supplier, I would have suggested a range of brightly coloured, zesty tasting, quirky cakes to accompany their cups of tea. Perhaps some clock topped cakes for the rabbit, some toadstools for the caterpiller and a special 'Eat Me' cake for Alice. I'd have then made my way to the castles, first to present the obligatory heart topped cakes to the Red queen, before making my last delivery of irridescent glitter topped cupcakes to the White queen. Job done.

Website Photography


I'm very fortunate to have access to a photography studio on a daily basis and so yesterday we photographed a selection of cupcakes for the upcoming VCK website. On this occasion we shot a range of pink and cream iced cakes with a range of toppings, and shortly after the shoot the guys in the studio were more than happy to test out the cakes!

Mum's the Word




So for Mother's Day yesterday I treated Mum and Mother-in-Law (as well as the rest of the family) to some classic vanilla cupcakes, topped with pale yellow and deep pink buttercream and decorated with white cutout star/flower shapes. After a huge lunch, in which we didn't think we could possibly eat anything else, we still managed to force down a cake each, with Brother-in-Law managing two! The dog wasn't so lucky, although he did steal a few empty cake wrappers lying around!
